About Invisalign®
What is Invisalign®?
If you have wished for a healthier, more attractive smile, chances are you have wondered about Invisalign. Braces may be one of the most recognizable treatments for correcting misalignment but standard orthodontic care is also known for certain frustrations. Invisalign lets you improve the appearance of your teeth without many of the common issues of braces, such as their appearance!
Invisalign is an entirely different orthodontic design from what previous generations have seen. Instead of brackets and wires, this system straightens teeth with aligners that look similar to a whitening tray, only far more discreet. Aligners are made for both the upper and the lower arches, and they are worn for two weeks at a time.
The treatment process
You can discover if Invisalign is right for you in a consultation with Dr. Shefali Tuli in which she performs a thorough assessment of positioning and bite. If this system meets your needs for correction, the process may begin with imaging, x-rays, and impressions. The data collected in our office is used in a specialized laboratory to create a 3D model of your teeth and mouth.
The use of this innovative technology is an exciting component of Invisalign treatment. From the initial 3D model of your teeth, advanced software makes changes a step at a time. From start to finish, the process of tooth straightening is transformed into an animated video that you can see before your treatment ever begins. This level of planning lets us know how many aligners and how many months will be needed to achieve the desired outcome.

Invisible, Comfortable & Removable
Invisalign takes the hassle and apprehension out of orthodontic care through its innovative design, which is just one reason this method is sought by teens and adults. Rather than having brackets cemented to teeth and wires running through them, you can turn your smile around by wearing clear plastic aligners on your upper and lower arches. Because aligners are clear, no one has to know that you are being treated for misalignment. Because they are removable, you can maintain your enjoyment of meals. Because the aligners are molded to your teeth, you can avoid the discomfort of brackets poking your lips and cheeks.
The teeth-straightening process simplified
The primary advantages of Invisalign treatment are the comfort and discreet appearance afforded by custom aligners. What patients quickly learn, however, is that Invisalign is extremely convenient. Wearing aligners each day, the progression of movement is achieved by a simple switch in aligners every two weeks. We supply you with the exact number of aligners you will need to see your smile transformed. Rather than visiting the orthodontist monthly to have braces tightened, you will visit our office periodically to allow us to check your progress.
A Straighter Smile In About a Year that Fits Your Lifestyle
At one time, Invisalign was considered a cosmetic treatment. As this system has been continually developed, patients are now seeing that they can correct mild to moderate bite issues in a relatively short time. The average course of treatment with Invisalign is about a year. Due to the comfort and convenience experienced with clear plastic aligners, the time you spend straightening your teeth will seem to fly by.
Whether you are active in athletics or you stand in front of a crowd on a regular basis, you want to be able to continue your normal activities while undergoing orthodontic treatment. You also want to look and feel good at school, at work, and out on the town. Straighter teeth are healthier and more aesthetically pleasing.
